Most Favorable Review

Perfect case for netbook, great value

Rosewill Black 10.2" / 11.2" Netbook Sleeves with Wireless Mouse and Ext Slim DVD Burner R-BP-KIT774
Rosewill Black 10.2" / 11.2" Netbook Sleeves with Wireless Mouse and Ext Slim DVD Burner R-BP-KIT774

Pros: This bag has a decent amount of padding for a netbook (Eee PC), yet still small. Outside, there are two extra zipper compartments. The handle straps are thick, and comfortable to hold with the neoprene on them. Inside, the DVD drive and mouse each have their own compartments apart from the netbook slot. The netbook compartment has a heavy duty Velcro to keep it seated. Perfect bundle for a netbook owner.

Cons: There is no extra compartment inside to store the netbook power cord, however, there is enough room for it. The DVD drive is rather slow and a bit noisy.

Overall Review: The mouse stores the USB dongle inside itself.

Most Critical Review

Great while it lasted

Logitech M570 910-001799 Silver and Blue 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Trackball Laser Trackball
Logitech M570 910-001799 Silver and Blue 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Trackball Laser Trackball

Pros: Purchased on 7/19/2011. The mouse is great. Very accurate.

Cons: About a month ago it start acting up by losing it's connection. Now, I can hardly get it to work. When it does, it remains connected for only a few minutes before I have to use my trackpad again.

Overall Review: Maybe it's a rare defect, but I'm disappointed.

USB is SLOOOOOW

Seagate 8TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive HDD - USB 3.0 for PC, Mac, Xbox One, PlayStation (STGY8000400)

Pros: I'll let you know in 10 days. EDIT: Well, after using for a couple weeks I have to say it's nice. The HD is reliable, but I think I will pick up another just to have redundancy.

Cons: It's estimating 10 days for a full format/erase. oh my.

Overall Review: I'm more concerned about the drive quality than the USB performance, so I'll deal with the slow USB speed.

Works great until it's under heavy constant load

ASUS AX3000 (PCE-AX58BT) Next-Gen WiFi 6 Dual Band PCIe Wireless Adapter with Bluetooth 5.0 - OFDMA, 2x2 MU-MIMO and WPA3 Security, TAA Compliant
ASUS AX3000 (PCE-AX58BT) Next-Gen WiFi 6 Dual Band PCIe Wireless Adapter with Bluetooth 5.0 - OFDMA, 2x2 MU-MIMO and WPA3 Security, TAA Compliant

Pros: The WiFi and Bluetooth work great. The WiFi speed is acceptable.

Cons: Under heavy load and constant the WiFi drops out. I have to disable WiFi and re-enable it. Reconnect is slow (a few seconds).

Overall Review: I'd buy again, mainly because there aren't many low profile options. It works when just watching YouTube, browsing or listening to podcasts. Heavy downloads are a problem, but whatever.

Best mouse ever, horrible lifespan

Logitech M570 910-001799 Silver and Blue 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Trackball Laser Trackball
Logitech M570 910-001799 Silver and Blue 5 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Trackball Laser Trackball

Pros: Logitech trackballs are the perfect mouse. The ball precision is great.

Cons: There are two major problems with this mouse. First, the lifespan is horrible. I've had these for the past decade, and they only last 2 to 3 years. The latest ones seems to be made more cheaply compared to previous generations. The trackball has a sandpaper sound to it as you roll, and the plastic shell isn't as bright.

Overall Review: From what I've ready, the MX Ergo is a really bad replacement for the M570. I wish Logitech would improve the quality and lifespan of the M570 and dump the MX Ergo.

Great product

Rosewill RMU-3GN - 3-Foot USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B (5-Pin) Male Cable - Green
Rosewill RMU-3GN - 3-Foot USB 2.0 A Male to Micro B (5-Pin) Male Cable - Green

Pros: This wire has a great rubber feel to it, and it replaces charging wire required by most modern phones (cheap wires don't have the proper gauge to deliver a full charge).

Cons: no cons.
